This large and remarkably detailed chart covers the region from the Gulf of Finland and St. Petersburg east to the Ural Mountains, here called the Monts Payas. Riga in Poland is located and Moscow is shown in the extreme south within the map's border. Most of Finland and northwestern Russia is included. Details include mountains, rivers and forests and scores of place names. Large uncolored decorative title cartouche fills the upper corner.

Sharp impression with original hand coloring in outline, wide original margins. Hint of centerfold toning along upper portion, still very good.
